PRACTICE ENGLISH

Hello! How's your day today? It's too bad that we can't meet in the class during this situation, but
I hope you guys all stay healthy until we meet again. In order to fulfill your knowledge in English,
I have prepared this explanation and worksheet for you to do. Please read carefully!

COMPARISON DEGREE
Did you guys still remember in the last meeting, we talked about sign, memo, schedule and
menu? Let me remind you, we use some adjective to describe each of them, for example:

● The most expensive menu is sirloin steak.

● This sign is dangerous because there is a high wave in this beach.
● The late time of this schedule is 6.40 PM.

The word expensive, dangerous, and late are included as adjective words. In this unit, we will
use adjective words to compare.

Comparative adjective
Comparative adjective is used to compare between two objects. It modifies adjective into
comparative form adjective+er or more+adjective. Examples:
Big > Bigger
Easy > Easier
Quiet > Quieter / more quiet
Beautiful > more beautiful
Diligent > more diligent

Superlative adjective
Superlative adjective is used to describe the object that is upper or lower level of something
else. Superlative form of adjective is adjective+st or most+adjective. Examples:
Old > Oldest
Sad > Saddest
Far > Farthest / Furthest
Challenging > most challenging
Amazing > most amazing

Please note that:

● If the end of the word is consonant, make it double (big > bigger > biggest)
● If the end of the word is 'y' change into 'i' (easy > easier > easiest)
● One syllable word just add suffix (adjective+er and adjective+st)
● Two syllable words can use suffix -er and -st also you can use ‘more’ and ‘most’
● More than two syllables word add ‘more’ and ‘most’ (beautiful > more beautiful > the
most beautiful)

There are three ways to compare using adjective:

Positive adjective compare
When two things are in the same degree means no one is better than the other, you use a
positive form of adjective to compare things.

Pattern: subject+verb+as+adjective+as+object/complement.

Example: My house is as big as my friend's house.

Comparative
When one thing is above or under level from another and usually compare two things, you
use a comparative form of adjective.

Pattern: subject+verb+comparative adjective+than+object/complement.

Example:
My car drives faster than other cars.
You look more beautiful than yesterday.

Superlative
When one thing is in the upper or lower limit of quality and usually compared to a group
object you use a superlative form of adjective.

Pattern: subject+verb+(the) superlative adjective+object/complement.

Example:
She is the most diligent student in the class
Everest mountain is the highest mountain.
